To everyone in contact with the FamilyCircle, and in particular Alan Collins.

I am pleased to announce that our Adoption Researcher Alan will be back with us again as from tomorrow, Monday October 16th. Alan has been off line for a while as he had a personal trauma of his own, but has contacted me today to say that he will be back again as from tomorrow.

If Alan is researching your case, please bear with him for a while as no doubt he has a backlog to deal with, but rest assured that he is now back in the swing of things.

Thank you for your continued patience, and Alan woould like to say a public 'thank you' to anyone who has emailed him or the familycircle to offer their condolences.
